Card Construct + Reflief

The Aims of this project:1. Applies media, techniques, and processes with sufficient skill, confidence, and sensitivity that one's intentions are carried out in artworks2. Understands how the communication of ideas relates to the media, techniques, and processes one uses3. Understands how the characteristics and structures of art are used to accomplish commercial, personal, communal, or other artistic intentions4. Understands the effectiveness of various artworks in terms of organizational structures and functions5. Knows how organizational principles and functions can be used to solve specific visual arts problems6. Identifies intentions of those creating artworks

Tasks1. Complete observational tonal drawing of an iconic famous face. Use grid technique adding a famous quote1. Compare and Contrast two Relief Art Works (1/2 pages) Explain what relief is and exaplain the similarities and differences between the works. include examples (1 page)2. Experiment with cardconstruction and texture making3. Plan 3 possible designs For a relief sculpture (2/3 pgs)4. Make a final Piece from cardboard, with multiple layers

introduction

Art elements and design principles can be used intentionally to elicit a specific response from the viewer.

Movement is used by artists to guide the viewer’s eye through a composition.

Compare and contrast artworks

Investigate 2 artists (contemporary & from different cultures) who have created relief sculptures. Print off 1 example of each of the artist’s artwork. Compare and contrast their work, identifying links and making connections between their works. Written information should be your own words. be concise and discuss the 4 topics below:

Identity

Who is the artist or is the artist unknown?

What period or style is it?

What is the name of the artwork?

To what culture does it belong?

Of what material/medium is it made?

What is its subject matter?

Style

How big is it? Does its medium affect the quality?

What are its formal elements (line, color, composition, etc.)?

Is it abstract, naturalistic, idealistic, realistic, or a combination?

How is the subject being depicted?

What is the origin of the style? - Is it a combination of cultural styles?

Function/Symbolism(Often relates to cultural context)

What was it used for? Why was it made?

It is sacred or secular?

Does it communicate a message? Is it asking for something?

Does it contain symbolism? What does it mean?

Cultural Context

What was happening historically, politically, socially, religiously, intellectually, and/or economically at the time it was made?

What were qualities of life at the time and place the piece was made that may have affected its function and style?

Do historical events or overall aesthetic tastes relate to the image/story depicted?

What is rhythm and movement

Investigate the principle of design – rhythm and balance. Include 2 samples of each (either drawing or photo) that illustrated this principle, along with an explanation in your own words.

Design possible relief ideas

Plan: Sketch out 3 different ideas for your rhythmic sculptures in your sketchbook. What size will it be? How far off will the shapes project off the surface? What are the different view points?

. Tips to keep in mind for a pleasing design:·Build rhythm within the design by repeating colors, shapes and patterns.·Build depth within the design by placing darker colors in the background, them building each layer up with sequentially lighter colors.·Build interest into the design by using a variety of shapes, colors and patterns. Remember to repeat in order to form rhythm.·Glue small, stacked pieces of cardboard to act as risers.·Design beyond the edges of the base- as far as you can go.
